Course in Physics. 



The scheme of study here presented embraces the following 
topics : Mechanics, including the Properties and the Laws of Motion 
and Equilibrium of Bodies ; the Phenomena of Heat ; Magnetism 
and Electricity, Sound and Light. 

To facilitate the labor of the student, subdivisions of these 
general topics, with references to works in which they are severally 
treated, are given below. 

For convenience, reference, in what follows, is first made to the 
" Elementary Text-Book of Physics," by Professors Anthony and 
Brackett, in which will be found a connected presentation of the 
whole field. Other works are referred to in connection with the 
various subdivisions as seems desirable. 

Mechanics of Masses. 

A and B's Text- Book : Pages 1-83. Also Maxwell's 
" Matter and Motion," Dana's " Text-Book of Elementary 
Mechanics," or MacGregor's " Elementary Treatise on Kine- 
matics and Dynamics," or Todhunter's " Mechanics for 
Beginners." 

Olmstead's " Introduction to Natural Philosophy," revised 
by Kimball, and Daniell's " Text-Book of the Principles of 
Physics," will be of great value. To those familiar with 
French and German, Jamin and Bouty's " Cours de Phy- 
sique " and Miiller's " Lehrbuch der Physik " are recom- 
mended.
